A quote from Bernard in Belgium re his wedge & snow:

By the way , a lagonda on snowtires is the best snowmobile

When we had 20cm snow and the highways were almost unusable I found myself 2 hours from home.

I went on the highway , driving trough cars in the ditch, against the rails, upside down , ...
But the lagonda ( with a hole in the exhaust) just went passing by them , thump thump thump, it was a bizar sight.

Coming on aslope , the trucks had slid down in all directions, I just slalomed between them.

The next slope, there was just one lane useable ( big word) and halfway up everybody came to a halt
When they tried moving again, I saw bmw's Mercedes, .... behind slide to the side and downwards.
I put the lagonda in 2nd gear and she climbed up the hill without any fault.

Really impressive to see how stable this car is and how it ploughs through the snow
.

Very Happy

Interesting...

I would not dare use my car here in the snow (altrough Alvira now sleeps in a garage in Geneva, Switzerland). The problem is salt...
